Chapter 8 Nine-Eyed Heavenly Bead

  • Xie Qingfeng finally found an opportunity to slap Qi Kunlun in the face.
  • "Xie Zhizhen, today is Grandma's birthday."
  • Yes, he thought of another opportunity to slap her in the face. "Where is your gift? Don't tell me you haven't prepared it yet?"
  • Finally, it's happening.
  • Xie Zhizhen knew that Xie Qingfeng was about to make a move on her, just to slap Qi Kunlun in the face.
  • Thinking about the value of her gift, Xie Zhizhen reluctantly took it out.
  • "The gift for Grandma is still with me."
  • Qi Kunlun took out a small box from his pocket. "Here, give it to Grandma. I believe she will like it."
  • No one expected that Xie Zhizhen's gift was actually prepared by Qi Kunlun.
  • By the way, who is he? How did he appear in the Xie family?
  • The Xie family didn't know, and Qin Shou knew even less.
  • Looking at Qi Kunlun, Qin Shou's anger intensified.
  • He had thought that Xie Zhizhen was speaking up for him, but it turned out to be completely different from what he had imagined.
  • Xie Zhizhen couldn't believe her eyes as she looked at Qi Kunlun.
  • When did he prepare the gift?
  • He had just told her in the morning that today was Grandma's birthday.
  • But looking at the box in her hand, it was clear that Qi Kunlun had really prepared it.
  • She didn't dare to open it, afraid that its value would be lower than what she had prepared.
  • She also thought, Qi Kunlun used to be a security guard, how could he afford expensive items?
  • If only she had given the gift to Grandma earlier, so as to avoid being ridiculed by others in the end.
  • But now...
  • The arrow was already on the string and had to be released.
  • She could only grit her teeth and present the gift.
  • "Grandma, happy birthday. May you be healthy and live as long as the southern mountains. May you be blessed like the flowing waters of the eastern sea and live as long as the ancient pines on the southern mountains."
  • Hearing Xie Zhizhen's words, Qi Kunlun also felt a sense of relief in his heart.
  • You see, this is the most basic blessing, unlike others who recite it like a textbook.
  • My wife is amazing!
  • Seeing Qi Kunlun's satisfaction, Xie Qingfeng immediately walked up to Grandma.
  • "Grandma, let me open it for you."
  • Everyone knew that Xie Qingfeng definitely had ulterior motives, just to slap Qi Kunlun in the face.
  • But no one said much, they also didn't like Qi Kunlun.
  • When the lid was opened, they saw that there was only a bead inside, tied with a string.
  • "Haha."
  • Seeing that it was just an ordinary bead, Xie Qingfeng laughed. "Zhizhen, are you so poor that you can only buy a cheap item from a street vendor as a birthday gift for Grandma?"
  • "You are too considerate, aren't you? To actually give such a thing as a gift?"
  • At this moment, Qin Shou also joined in, "If you don't have money, you could have just told me."
  • "You have money, but you bought a fake item and lost one million, and now you still owe five million."
  • But these were just Xie Zhizhen's inner thoughts, of course she wouldn't say them out loud.
  • Instead, she turned her head and looked coldly at Qi Kunlun.
  • But Qi Kunlun still gave her a reassuring look.
  • She wanted to retort Qin Shou's words, but she knew she couldn't.
  • "That's right, Zhizhen, you've gone too far. Just giving a bead."
  • "Who would have thought that Zhizhen, who usually spends lavishly, would give a street vendor item as a gift to Grandma."
  • "No choice, Grandma is old, it won't make much difference to her, so the gift can be casual."
  • ...
  • The young members of the Xie family were criticizing Xie Zhizhen one after another.
  • At this moment, Xie Zhizhen really wanted to crawl into a hole.
  • This was too embarrassing, and their words were so sarcastic.
  • Xie Qingfeng and Qin Shou were smugly looking at Xie Zhizhen, and Xie Qingfeng even glanced at He Wendong.
  • Qi Kunlun stood there as if nothing had happened, listening to their jokes.
  • Weren't you arrogant just now? Keep going!
  • "Don't mind them, everyone."
  • Xie Qingfeng spoke again, "After all, Zhizhen is married now, so she naturally needs some money to live."
  • With these words, everyone was confused.
  • Huh? What does he mean?
  • Qinglan got married?
  • When did that happen?
  • Everyone looked at Xie Qingfeng in confusion.
  • Qin Shou was especially suspicious of Xie Qingfeng's last words.
  • But now they had to put it aside for the time being.
  • "Alright, alright."
  • Grandma continued with her few lines, "Thank you all."
  • Then she lowered her head and continued to play with the bead Xie Zhizhen gave her.
  • Because the bead gave her a very comfortable feeling.
  • Tang Mingze, seeing his Grandma so focused on playing with the bead, also became curious and took a serious look at it.
  • Then he touched Liu Qiangguang, who realized it and also looked at the bead.
  • Then the two of them exchanged a panicked look.
  • "Grandma, can you show us this bead?"
  • It was Tang Mingze who spoke first, "We'll return it to you soon."
  • Grandma hesitated a bit before reluctantly handing over the bead, her eyes still fixed on it.
  • Everyone was watching the actions of the two old men, not understanding what was going on, but they didn't disturb them either.
  • "It really is it."
  • After watching for a while, Tang Mingze spoke first, "I didn't expect to see it in my lifetime."
  • "Yes, we are fortunate."
  • Everyone was confused again, can you please make it clear?
  • This is so confusing, it's driving people crazy.
  • "Grandpa, can you please explain it more clearly? We are all at a loss!"
  • The two men were still immersed in the bead, only now did they come to their senses.
